The Tallahassee police initially labeled an accident involving a Florida State football player as a hit and run, a criminal act, but later decided to issue him two traffic tickets, an examination by The New York Times found.

Last year, the Tallahassee police’s handling of a rape accusation against Jameis Winston drew attention to its failure to adequately investigate. Now, an examination shows a pattern to the handling of such complaints.

Jameis Winston, the Heisman Trophy winner who has been accused of rape by a former student, did not attend the hearing, which focused on two of his teammates who witnessed part of the sexual encounter.
